This lunchtime session is designed for founders and early-stage teams who are building out fast and thinking nonstop. When you’re working long hours, making high-stakes decisions, and living with uncertainty, your mind becomes your most valuable tool - and your biggest vulnerability.

Hirsch Roberts Weinstein Attorneys will lead an interactive, startup-friendly employment law session designed specifically for CIC’s community of founders and scaling teams across tech, life sciences, and other innovation-driven industries. The presentation will tackle the real-world people and legal challenges that tend to pop up as companies grow inside fast-moving, collaborative ecosystems like CIC, from hiring and classifying talent to managing performance, navigating terminations, and avoiding common (and costly) missteps.
